It’s an unusually exciting time for Shobhit and his acting pursuits. Look for him next as the lead(!) in THE FOREIGNER at the State Theater in Olympia, March 2026!

He even grew a beard for the part! (And shaved it the moment he got home from the closing performance.)

Not that Margorie Taylor Greene deserves either; Congress will be definitively better after she throws her fit and leaves in January. Watching these two feud is like trying to decide who to root for in a fight between a rat carcass and a turd.

You know what? It *has* been a while. These people need to get back in line!

But, I am choosing to be cautiously optimistic. I still think she's out of her depth, but all we can do now is give her a chance, and I'm ready and willing to be proven wrong. In fact I'd be delighted.

I genuinely think her lack of experience will be an issue, and even if it weren't, she'll inevitably have to compromise with City Council—something her diehard supporters don't talk a lot about (she's not going to come in with a magic wand and make all their dreams come true).

All of the other candidates were clearly out of their depth. Even Katie Wilson, albeit far less so than all the other primary candidates, which was clearly why it ultimately came down to these two.

I was never that excited about Bruce Harrell, not even when he won in 2021. I plugged my nose and voted for him this time, only because he was the only one, even at a Town Hall during the primary, who seemed to have any real understanding of how shit actually works.

On the one hand, I found this hilarious. On the other hand, I guess I had no idea what a crotchety old man I've become.
